Just trying to clarify this statement for future reference that's all ... bit ambiguous .. not actually saying whether they will take it straight to the kennels or not ... just they will attempt to try and find the owner.

Not assuming anything Neil ... this point did cross my mind too.

I can't see how the dog getting out could possibly be the fault of the binmen. 
I am not accusing Jae of bad ownership at all. I just think he made a mistake in this instance. The dog should not have been unsecured in the yard when a collection was due. |
I agree ... is the owner's responsibility ... just a bad mistake, just can understand how it may have happened if on an open collection, trying to make the lad feel a little better.
